Mother's Day Crafts and Activities
Mother’s Day is right around the corner! Mother’s Day is a great time to share love and appreciation for all of the special mother figures in your lives. I truly believe that it takes a village to raise a child and your child can not be loved TOO much. My mom and I were very close. We had a little store in my elementary school. My dad would give me a few dollars to purchase a gift at the school’s gift store. I was so excited to pick out my own gift and present it to my mom. While store bought gifts are great, I believe homemade gifts from my children are the BEST. Check out Plumprint If you are looking for a way to preserve all of those homemade cards and even 3-D art. I am not being paid to endorse Plumprint but wanted to share this company because I think it's cool to have the option to capture all of my childrens’ work someday. (At ages 1 and 2 - it would be a very small book at this point lol).
I compiled a HUGE list of Mother’s Day activities and crafts for you to do with your children. I put them into categories for easier reading. Spread the love and share them with grandma, mom, auntie and more! If you enjoy please share @beelieveacademy on social media.
